Very clean room and was out the back so heard no noise from the. Use Khaosan road! Pool was great to escape the muggy heat in Bangkok, and inclusive breakfast was average, chose to play safe with toast and fruit.

Superior room was just what we needed - in the heart of Khao San road, but rooms are away from the noise. Air con room and a hot shower and for £15 a night!

Great spot in the heart of touristic Khaosan road and full of backpackers. Clean rooms with good showers, tv and wifi
Top floor swimming pool with good views pg the city.
Buffet breakfast not the best but better than nothing!
Be careful though it can be very noisy

An easy introduction to the huge world of travelling. Right in the middle of all the Koh San commotion, its always bustling and full of life. Not the prettiest, but you will have some fun!

“ Devious and Dissapointing ”

Reviewed Jul 26, 2011

by whichwaynow2011 (13 reviews) , United Kingdom

This hotel is very dirty and noisy and bad value for money.

Furthermore , I know for a fact that hotel staff (chambermaid?) stole my mp3 player out of my rucksack in my room. Only the carry case remained (they took the charge cable) It was not doubt to be sold along the Ko San Road at one of the many make-shift bric-a-brac stalls flogging guests' stolen stuff.

Do not come for the rooftop swimming pool, it's really quite dirty.

“ Convenient and Cheap ”

Reviewed Jun 17, 2011

by seanspacifica (2 reviews) Oxford , United Kingdom

The location of D&D is ideal for any backpackers wanting convenience and an atmosphere at a low cost. Literally located on KhaoSan rd you're near loads of restaurants, bars, shops and weird and wonderful sights. If your priorities are to get a good nights sleep then this is NOT the place for you, you'd be better off finding somewhere set back away from the party area.
We didn't find the staff very friendly but it's great that breakfast is included, there's a pool and it's easy to meet other backpackers. D&D served a purpose and would stay there again if we pass through Bangkok.

No wifi and noisy rooms as on main street but top location, clean, hot shower and buffet breakfast included. A bit more than we have been paying but does have a pool. There are lots of cheaper places around if you are on a budget.

Warning

Be careful! This hotel accused us of having made a burnmark in the sheet, and tried to have us paid for a new sheet. Maybe they have

put this in system. Outside the window there where condoms, cigarettes and other junk. This is not representative for Thailand, but destroyed our holiday in Bangkok.

Clean, nice place

from anonymous

We were staying at D&D at christmastime 2005 in a double room. The hotel is very nice, clean, has a friendly staff and excellent situation. We asked for a room from the quiet side, because of the noisy street Khao San Road and ou room was quit enough to have a nice sleep. The room had no window, but it had it´s own balcony with balconydoor. The place is not expensive compared to the service. The thaimassage is a must when you go to D&D and also the roomservice is very good. Swimmingpool on rooftop, what else do you want?

Budget Brillaince!

from anonymous

I felt I had to write this after reading the other reviews on the D & D Inn! Myself & 3 friends began our world trip at the D & D & we loved it! As bangkok was our base we stayed at the D & D on 3 seperate occasions when in Bangkok & loved it each time! We opted for a VIP room (but still a steal compared to usual accomo prices!) which gave a huge room, en suite, Koh Sarn Road view & clean towels & linen. The food is good value & it really is in a great position! A friend of ours stayed at the Koh San Palace & said it was disgusting! D & D is defo the best option for any backpacker! And the roof top pool is a winner! D & D Rocks!

Mixed reviews

from anonymous

I have stayed at the D & D about 5 different times and have had different experiences, mainly good but also bad!!The D& D is perfectly located on the Koh San Road and really has its pros and cons, here they are: -

-The staff can sometimes be very rude and abrupt, and will try and make you buy the most expensive room, always ask to look at what room you are buying

-They have 2 types of rooms, the windowless rooms are a disgrace and feels like you are in a prison cell, however the rooms with windows are much more modern and pass for a 3/4* standard. So always make sure you check the room first or request a window room. DO NOT STAY IN THE HOTEL IF YOU HAVE A WINDOWLESS ROOM IT WILL SPOIL THE EXPERIENCE!!!!!!!!

- The hotel is always very clean and safe to stay in, with secuirty 24 hours a day

- They offer great facilities, such as beauty treatments, massages very cheaply, 24 hour internet access, and a very nice thai restaurant which plays movies every night on a big screen

- The swimming pool on the top floor is its greatest advantage, as they have a bar and its the place to be in Bangkok during the day as they play good music and also serve food.

Just what we needed

from clg199

Having had a nasty experience with a brothel masquerading as a hostel in Sukhumvit we headed for the D&D, and it was great. The check in staff are a little abrupt, but we were shown around two rooms, had our bags brought up for us and had no problems whatsoever. We had to extend our stay as my boyfriend became ill but throughout the 7 days we spent there the staff were polite and helpful, making up the room when we wanted it and leaving us in peace when we didn't. The room was big but windowless, but you don't go to Bangkok to look out of the window. The bed was huge and comfortable, the bathroom was always cleaned and the aircon worked brilliantly. The rooftop bar and pool are perfect for chilling out in and sell the best watermelon shakes ever. It might be more expensive than the competition but it more than makes up for it by being clean, comfortable and well placed. Would highly recommend it as an alternative to trudging around the other guesthouses trying to save a few bhat - well worth it!

A prison for tourists

from Littlemisstourist

We stayed here following recomendations from friends- after an exhaustingly long trip we arrived at the D&D Inn expecting an ok room- but instead it just made me want to cry! A windowless prison cell is the only was I could explain it. The bathroom was alright but apart from that cement walls and a THIN dirty bed covered in stains and cigarette holes meeted us- hm nice. The towels and bed linen stank and there were constantly noisy people going past the door- a nasty nasty horrible dirty place!!!!!

We loved the D&D

from Edge

We were very apprehensive of staying at this B&B, particulary as it was on the infamous Kohsan Road. From the outside, the hotel looks very basic, however as soon as we were inside the hotel we were greated by the friendly staff and shown to our very clean and comfortable room. The hotel was surprisingly quiet considering it's location, and the view from the rooftop bar is great. I would strongly recommend this hotel for anyone on a budget.

Rudeness beyond belief

from anonymous

I'm afraid i have to write this review due to the appalling way myself and my travelling companion were treated on a stopover in Bangkok. There was a mis-communication between staff and ourselves. We though we were checking into a twin room, which turned out to be a double. We explained the mixup and asked for a refund straight away. We were told that we wouldn't get anywhere. When we insisted on a refund so we could stay elsewhere as they had no other room, they said they would blacklist us on the Kosan Road and that they would make sure we did not get accommodation anywhere else. I was completely taken aback and had never been spoken to in such a manner especially as we were not agressive or rude in our tone. Based on this appalling customer service that i would advise all travellers to Bangkok to stay away from the D&D hotel.
